Welcome to the 6th Annual Chucktown Showdown!

This year we are stoked to share that in addition to being a WPA sanctions race, we are also one of the PADDLE LEAGUE, Regional Races worth up to 10 points towards the SUP World Rankings! 

On Saturday, October 6th, the races start and end in water off the end of the Brittlebank Park fishing pier on the west side of the Charleston on the Ashley River. The event feature three races:

1. The Battery Course: This course is a 4 mile out and back course along the SW coast of the Charleston peninsula. The course is usually flat and protected with occasional wind chop and mild currents. PFD REQUIRED on all craft. Leashes are highly recommended on all paddleboards.
2. The Harbor course: This is a 9 mile loop course that goes into the main Charleston Harbor with views of USS Yorktown, Ft Sumter, Castle Pinckney and the Ravenel Bridge.  The course can be very challenging with winds, wind chop, and currents.  PFD REQUIRED on all craft. LEASHES REQUIRED on all Paddleboards
3. The Fun Run: This course is offered to our younger friends, 12 years and under. It is an approximately 1-mile course that features buoy turns and takes place right in front of the dock!
